    1. If you check the human history until relatively recent times, you will find out the way criminals, salves or prisoners of wars and religious minorities have been tortured is far more barbaric than the islamic sharia punishments. Islam only limited or reduced the severity of punishments that were already prevalent in the society in those days. The most prevalent one was to kill someone on minor disputes and crimes. Islam made all kinds of killings unlawful except for two extremely notorious crimes. Murder and anarchy in the society.

    2. Those islamic punishments are maximum punishments. There is no minimum punishment recommended by Islam. Court or the plaintiffs can even forgive the criminals if they like. At times circumstances or mental illnesses become the causes of a crime and no court is supposed to punish such people.

    3. The all those punishments in islam are “exemplary” meaning they are supposed to deter others to commit such crime using “fear” as a technique. If science can make other more effective techniques available, we must use them instead of ancient way of deterrence when those diagnosis, treatments and rehabilitation facilities were not given to mankind by God.

    4. Those punishments and other sharia law was mandatory only for the people of the prophet of that time. For later generations, it is only recommended as long as God has not given the mankind a better way of delivering justice thru science and technology In the process of evolution of the mankind and their culture.

    The discussion about Islamic punishments is irrelevant and biased. Because Islamic punishments r part of Islamic

    Government and society. For e.g. if zakat is properly implemented at the state level then all the needs of all the poor people is supplied and hence no need for theft. If someone does so, its is pure mischief and should be punished severely similar nikah and divorce r extremely easy so if someone commits zina then punishment is severe

    Discussing Islamic punishments in isolation always leads to confusion and embarrassment in front of non muslims because we r reviewing them out of context

    Whenever govt and society provides basic need, crime rate drops, take the example of Scandinavian countries. There’s alway Khilafat e rashida’s example too
